Others are just looking for a cleansing Dry January, a great way to start the new year. While the life-improvement aspect of this movement is trending, some people joining the lifestyle are in recovery from harmful addictions, and all deserve to enjoy a night out without worrying about the consequences tomorrow will bring.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your reasoning to wade into the cold, and sometimes unpopular, waters of sobriety, these are the best ways to enjoy going out in Chicago without a sip of alcohol.<\/p>\n<h2>Bars<\/h2>\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BzKGR-wlo5Y\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Julia Momose curated her very own menu of drinks that shy away from the cringy word &#8220;mocktail&#8221; and, instead, embrace the freedom of having a spirit-free beverage without shame or consequence. She even developed a manifesto to express her seriousness on the subject, constantly championing for more bars to include spirit-free options on their menus. The Pepperberry Tonic, for instance, is made with Tasmanian pepperberry, sansho, angelica root, grapefruit, and fever-tree elderflower tonic, and is described as &#8220;aperitvo-red, with a bold, bitter finish.&#8221; Take a stab and a sip at Kumiko&#8217;s spirit-free menu when you&#8217;re going out this weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lostlaketiki.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lost Lake<\/a> | 3154 W Diversey Ave<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The No Tipple Tiki options at Lost Lake are just as delicious as the rest of their spirited menu, but without the hangover that inevitably follows. The nonalcoholic Mango Mu Mu\u2014a sweet combination of pandan, mango, pineapple, lime, Topo Chico\u2014is the perfect way to feel like you&#8217;re kickin&#8217; back on an island somewhere and NOT in this bitter Chicago cold. If you&#8217;re more inclined toward dry alcohol, you might like the spirit-free Nobody&#8217;s Business, made with lemongrass, lime leaf, coconut water, mint, non- alcoholic aromatic bitters, and nutmeg. Drink up, sober-curious friends! Time for a night out you&#8217;ll actually remember.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thealbertchicago.com\/beverage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Albert<\/a> | 228 E Ontario St<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hotel EMC2, a luxury spot on the Mag Mile inspired by and designed after Albert Einstein, has a restaurant in the lobby that&#8217;s essential to any Chicago bucket list. The Albert doesn&#8217;t just have aesthetics going for it, though; the menu boasts a list of five Drivers, all $8, that double as a health kick and a sobering shot. The list includes concoctions of grapefruit, jalape\u00f1o, and salt (order Fireside); carrot ginger, and coconut (order Youth Serum); and the one we&#8217;re living on &#8217;til spring, cranberry chai spice, lime, and egg white (order Winter Spice Sour).<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7Ek2sWBHlz\/<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngamericanbar.com\/menu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Young American<\/a> | 2545 N Kedzie Ave<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Choose from three spirit-free cocktails at Young American, designed to be adaptable to a CBD add-on if you&#8217;re into that kind of thing.

And, if you&#8217;re looking for a little sober-curious pick-me-up this Dry January, Young American also boasts a Restorative Shot, which blends turmeric, ginger, schizandra berry, and electrolyte powder, all ingredients that help boost your immune system.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-other-side.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Other Side<\/a> | 93 Berkshire Dr, Crystal Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As far as we know, this is the only &#8220;sober bar&#8221; within the Chicagoland area, and it&#8217;s attracting all kinds of interesting people. The Other Side focuses on catering to recovering alcoholics by offering a spirit-free environment where people can socialize through weekly events\u2014like live music, karaoke, open mic nights, comedy, and dancing\u2014and enjoy an array of entertainment from pool and ping pong tables and bag toss sets to darts and video games. The bar even offers a full alcohol treatment program for those who are still struggling with an addiction.

Add these nonalcoholic options into the mix and you&#8217;ve got yourself a perfect pairing with any of their main dishes. Our personal favorite is On the Back Burner, a unique blend of apple cider, fenugreek, and ginger, but there&#8217;s also the lemon, mint, and fizzy yuzu option (L.P. Limonana) for anyone looking to feel refreshed and ready for the day.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theroanokerestaurant.com\/cocktail-list.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roanoke<\/a> | 135 W Madison St<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As much as Julia Momose doesn&#8217;t like the word &#8220;mocktails,&#8221; they run wild and free here at Roanoke, where the sober-curious can order from a list almost as extensive as their libations menu. Our top picks include the Coconut Butterfly Dragon, made with blueberries, lime, coconut water, and butterfly pea syrup, and The Workshops, a blend of blackberries, Madagascar vanilla, lemon, and soda. If those don&#8217;t suit your fancy, check out the rest of your menu; we swear there won&#8217;t be any disappointment.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.everestrestaurant.com\/menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Everest<\/a> | 425 South Financial Place<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the most elegant restaurants in Chicago, placed high above the city on the 40th floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange, has a menu full of extravagant and delectable cocktails. But among the cocktails is a zero-proof option for those looking to make Dry January an extended lifestyle. The Alsace Spritz Mocktail is crafted with House-made Harvest syrup created by steeping Alsace Harvest Tea and cane sugar, topped off with fresh citrus and club soda.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B4DeCUSlfYB\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
